ANYA (2019)

In the heart of the modern world, ANYA unravels an enthralling sci-fi love saga that bridges the realms of science, culture, and the innate human desire for connection. The narrative orbits around Marco, a man burdened with a secret that could shatter the world of his unsuspecting wife, Libby. After a series of heartbreaking miscarriages, Marco is cornered into revealing a cultural belief — a curse on those who dare to love outside his insular community, condemning them to a childless future. Libby, however, is skeptical and, in her pursuit of truth, introduces Marco to Seymour, her ex-boyfriend and a brilliant geneticist. What begins as an attempt to debunk Marco's superstition transforms into a riveting scientific journey into the heart of genetics, as Seymour stumbles upon a remarkable peculiarity within Marco's people that could reshape scientific understanding. With the promise of a solution to their infertility, Seymour's proposition teeters on the edge of ethical ambiguity. He offers them a chance at parenthood, but at what cost? The price is Marco's silence, the unveiling of his secretive community to the world for Seymour's scientific glory. ANYA crafts an intricate genetic puzzle that propels Marco into a daunting dilemma — a choice between a future with Libby, his dearly beloved, or the betrayal of his heritage and people. As the plot weaves through the complex labyrinth of love, community, and science, viewers are drawn into a mesmerizing exploration of far-reaching implications that echo beyond the screen.
